Collection: Floating Aquarium Plants | Surface Plants for Planted Tanks

Add natural beauty and essential shade to your aquarium with floating plants that create a peaceful, authentic aquatic environment. These surface-dwelling aquatic plants provide vital shelter for fish, preventing light stress and creating comfortable hiding spots, while their trailing roots offer safe havens for fry and small species. Floating aquarium plants cast gentle shadows that reduce algae growth, soften harsh LED lighting, and create the dappled light effect found in natural habitats. Perfect for low-tech planted tanks, floating plants require no substrate, CO₂, or intensive care — simply place them on the water surface and watch them thrive. Their roots provide excellent grazing surfaces for shrimp and fish while naturally filtering the water by absorbing excess nutrients. Ideal for nano tanks, community aquariums, and breeding setups, floating plants add movement, texture, and a serene, natural aesthetic to any freshwater aquarium.
